Manipal MET2018PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Two long straight wires are set parallel to each other. Each carries a current in the same direction and the separation between them is 2 r . The intensity of the magnetic field mid-way between them is
Options
- A₀ i r
- B4 ₀ i r
- Czero
- D₀ i 4 r
Correct answer
A. ₀ i r
Step-by-step solution
At point P, aligned B_ net & =B_ A B +B_ C D & = ₀ i 2 r + ₀ i 2 r = ₀ i r aligned
